Haiti’s Police Are ‘Begging for Help’ in Battle Against Ruthless Gangs

The United States is rushing support to Haiti’s depleted police force, which is awaiting international help as it tries to restore order and quell violence.

Gangs stormed the neighborhood of Haiti’s police chief, Frantz Elbé, in March, broke into his house, set it afire and killed his dog.

Mr. Elbé and his family were not home at the time, and he did not want to discuss what happened in any detail. But the attack, which was captured on video, sent a chilling message through police ranks and to residents of the country’s embattled capital, Port-au-Prince.

“It symbolized that no one was safe,” said Reginald Delva, a Haitian security consultant and former Haitian government minister.

The torching of the police chief’s house deepened fears among Haitians that their country was on the brink of collapse in the face of an onslaught by a coalition of armed gangs that had seized control of many parts of Port-au-Prince and were threatening key institutions, like the National Palace.

But today, Haiti’s outgunned and outnumbered police have managed — at least for now — to hold their own against the gangs in some fights and defend the few remaining government buildings under state control.

As a result, the police have gone from a much-maligned force, considered by many analysts to be inept and corrupt, to acquiring a newfound respect among some Haitians.

The council, which is responsible for paving the way for elections and addressing the country’s deteriorating security situation, on Tuesday named Edgard Leblanc Fils as its president and proposed former sports minister Fritz Bélizaire as new interim prime minister.

Taylor Greene: American aid to Ukraine will lead to the extermination of an entire generation of Ukrainians

US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said that allocating additional funding to aid Ukraine would lead to the extermination of an entire generation of Ukrainian men, leaving women widowed and orphaning children.

According to her, American taxpayers do not want their money to be spent “to fund murders in foreign countries,” and Taylor Greene said in a press conference broadcast by C-SPAN: “They are fed up and are screaming about it.”

According to the American lawmaker, the American economy “should not be built on the blood shed by foreign wars,” adding, “This is not the way we should increase the number of jobs in America. It is a terrible thing, it is an evil that must be stopped.”

Taylor Greene expressed the opinion that House Speaker Mike Johnson and his fellow party members and Democrats “do not want to protect their country’s borders.”

At the same time, it accused them of forming a single political entity, the “Unified Party,” that seeks to achieve goals that are not compatible with the interests of American citizens.

Armenians fear another war despite talk of peace

hen more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians fled their homes in Nagorno-Karabakh last September, Nina Shahverdyan and her brother, parents and cousin spent 30 hours on the road trying to leave.

“People died of heart attacks. People died because they were just too old to live through that pain. Children were crying,” she remembers.

In a matter of days Azerbaijan’s military regained all the lands it had lost in a war triggered by the collapse of the Soviet Union.

What worries Armenians now is that their neighbour wants more, even if Azerbaijan’s president talks of being close “as never before” to a peace deal.

They have heard Ilham Aliyev speak before of Armenia being “Western Azerbaijan” and see it as a sign of imminent invasion.

Only last month Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan warned that Azerbaijan was looking to start “a new, large-scale war”. He has since agreed to hand back four abandoned border villages in a sign of improving relations.

Azerbaijan says Armenian fears are unfounded. However, President Aliyev has demanded that Armenia give his country a free railroad corridor through its territory to its exclave of Nakhichevan.

Armenia wants to have control over the road and the Azerbaijani leader has in the past threatened to take the corridor “by force”.

An increasing number of civilians in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, are taking up military training run by volunteer organisations.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a boy or a girl,” says Nina, as she learns to use firearms. “You need to know how to protect yourself in a country like Armenia, where all the borders can be attacked.”

Armenia has agreed to hand back four border villages to Azerbaijan, prompting protests from nearby residents

UN arrives in Nagorno-Karabakh to find ethnic Armenians have fled

Nearly the entire ethnic Armenian population has left Nagorno-Karabakh, as the first United Nations mission arrived in the largely deserted mountainous region on Sunday.

Stephane Dujarric, the spokesperson for the UN secretary general, said the United Nations team on the ground, the first UN mission to the region in 30 years, would “identify the humanitarian needs” both for people remaining and “the people that are on the move”.

Many of the Armenians who fled Nagorno-Karabkah said they felt the international mission’s visit came too late, after Azerbaijan reclaimed the area in a lightning military operation last month.

Sitting on a bench near the central Republic Square in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, Aren Harutyunyan, who left the region known by Armenians as Artsakh last week, blamed the “international community” for the exodus.

“What is there left for the UN to monitor?” said Harutyunyan, 53, who arrived in Yerevan on Friday after a gruelling three-day journey from Stepanakert, the Nagorno-Karabakh capital.

“No one is there any more, everyone is gone, it’s a ghost town.”

Armenian authorities said that by Monday evening, more than 100,500 people, from a population of about 120,000, had fled to Armenia from Artsakh.

In footage aired by the Al Jazeera TV channel over the weekend, an empty central square in Stepanakert can be seen, littered with rubbish, abandoned prams and children’s scooters.

“Where were the international monitors when we were being starved? It is too late now,” Harutyunyan grumbled, referring to the months-long Azerbaijani blockade of the Lachin Corridor, the only road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia.

Hunan Tadevosyan, a spokesperson for Nagorno-Karabakh’s emergency services, said on Sunday that the number of civilians left in Stepanakert could be “counted on one hand”

Given the influx of approximately 100,000 into a country with a population of around three million, there will be a significant demand for the expansion of national services. This includes bolstering educational institutions and healthcare facilities.

“People will need new schools, which will have to be built – it won’t be a case of adding four or five more chairs into a classroom – new schools or wings on schools will have to be built, the same for hospitals, too,” Mr. Lowry said.

He emphasized that the arrivals would also need livelihood assistance, such as jobs, and new homes. At the same time, the host community will also require support.

UN Reports Haiti’s death toll rises as international support lags

More than 2,500 people were killed or injured in gang violence in Haiti from January through March, up 53% from the last three months of 2023, the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) said on Friday.

At least 590 were killed during police operations, BINUH said in a report. Several were apparently not involved in gang violence, some had impaired mobility, and at least 141 were killed by vigilante justice groups.

Most of the violence took place in the capital of Port-au-Prince, while at least 438 people were kidnapped across the wider West Department and agricultural Artibonite region. The capital’s port-side La Saline and Cite Soleil areas had the longest large-scale attacks.
